Have you ever encountered a situation where you needed to access your Windows 10 computer as an administrator, only to realize you had forgotten the Administrator password? Don’t panic, for there are several methods you can employ to regain access to your computer and resume your administrative duties.
One method involves utilizing the Command Prompt. After successfully booting your computer into Safe Mode, you can launch the Command Prompt and execute a series of commands to create a new Administrator account. Once the new account is created, you can use it to log in to your computer and make the necessary changes. It’s important to note that this method requires a certain level of technical proficiency, so if you are not comfortable working with the Command Prompt, other methods may be more suitable.
Another method involves using a bootable USB or DVD. You can create a bootable USB or DVD using the Windows Media Creation Tool, and then use it to boot your computer. Once your computer has booted from the USB or DVD, you can select the “Repair your computer” option and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Administrator password. This method is relatively straightforward and does not require any advanced technical skills. However, you will need to have a blank USB or DVD available to create the bootable media.
